<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>"The most important book to be written in more than 40 years about the rise of Canadian literature . . . <em>Arrival: The Story of CanLit</em> brims and crackles, in equal measure, with information and energy." -- <em>Winnipeg Free Press</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the mid-twentieth century, Canadian literature transformed from a largely ignored trickle of books into an enormous cultural phenomenon that produced Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Mordecai Richler, and so many others. In <em>Arrival</em>, acclaimed writer and critic Nick Mount answers the question: What caused the CanLit Boom?</p> <p>Written with wit and panache, <em>Arrival</em> tells the story of a literary awakening. Interwoven with Mount's vivid tale are enlightening mini-biographies of the people who made it happen, from superstars Leonard Cohen and Marie-Claire Blais to lesser-known lights like the troubled and impassioned Harold Sonny Ladoo. The full range of Canada's literary boom is here: the underground exploits of the <em>blew ointment</em> and <em>Tish</em> gangs; revolutionary critical forays by highbrow academics; the blunt-force trauma of our plain-spoken backwoods poetry; and the urgent political writing that erupted from the turmoil in Quebec.</p>
